Silicon Valley Code Camp : October 1 & 2, 2016session
Practical Performance Tips to Make Your Cross Platform Mobile Apps Faster
Doris outlines what impacts native and hybrid mobile performance. Practical tips for building faster apps on DOM complexity, animation techniques, and memory management will be shared. Mobile performance diagnostic tools will also be demonstrated.
About This Session
Apache Cordova is one of the most popular frameworks for cross-platform mobile development. Web developers can build apps for iOS, Android, and Windows based on the same frameworks they use for the Web by using a shared codebase. However, the methods for improving mobile app performance can be different from those web developers use for web apps. Doris Chen outlines what impacts “native performance” and explains how the startup time, as well as the overhead of resume, memory, communication, and the Web, can all contribute to the performance of Cordova apps. To build Cordova apps that perform well, it’s important to understand how to avoid common pitfalls and how to use the technologies in the most efficient ways. Doris introduces tools for performance tests and demonstrates how to measure mobile app performance by using diagnostic tools for different platforms. Doris also shares practical tips for building faster Cordova apps by exploring Document Object Model (DOM) complexity, animation techniques, and memory management.The Speaker(s)
